Grammy award winner Beyonce Giselle Knowles or better known as “Beyoncé” has out done herself again. On Saturday she released her newest single “Formation”, on Sunday she performed it at the Super Bowl 50 halftime show and then announced her newest stadium tour. With just a short snippet of her video she introduced fans to her 2016 Formation World Tour in a commercial.
The Formation World Tour will be her first solo tour since she performed her Mrs. Carter World Tour in 2013. Her last tour was in 2014, the On The Run Tour, with her husband Jay Z. The Formation World Tour is produced by Parkwood Entertainment, promoted by Live Nation and is presented by American Express. The tour will begin this April in the United States before heading over to Europe.
To ensure her fans the best concert experience possible, Beyoncé has acquired the help of THX Ltd. Founded in 1983 by George Lucas, THX ltd is the leader in acoustic system which guarantees the ultimate audio experience possible.
As in true Beyoncé fashion, the song Formation speaks of her heritage and endorses the “Black Lives Matter” movement. The song was purposely slated to be revealed in February for the celebration of Black History month. Beyoncé is also active through BeyGOOD which supports United Way programs and the plight of the ongoing water crisis in Flint, Michigan.
The tour, which will see Beyonce play stadiums across North America starts April 27th at Marlins Park in Miami, and extends until she plays Hersheypark Stadium on June 12th. Highlighted concerts along the way include stops at the Georgia Dome, Houston’s Reliant Stadium, the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium, the Rose Bowl outside of LA, Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ford Field in Detroit, Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, and two dates at Citi Field outside of New York in Flushing.
From there, the UK and European leg of the trek will see her take the stage in Sunderland, Cardiff, London’s Wembley Stadium, Manchester, Glasgow, Dublin, and many more!
